I am looking to adopt...Picture:

~*~
Kennel number: F28
~*~
Name: Ora
~*~
Breed: Dreamweaver (A muse species) this one is a Digger{D-I-gger- said like tiger}. An Asian lung dragon tiger hybrid.
~*~
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: This is a muse if I ever saw one. A creature who lights my dreams and spurs me to use the ink in my pen. What will I do for it? She will be a beloved character. I would love to give her so many art pieces, and might even start a small side comic to attach to the one I'm currently work on that would show her as my muse.
~*~
Personality: Fickle, flirty and sometimes aloof when in the musing mood. The warm cozy feeling you get when you finish a fantastic new story/art piece/poem is her way of smiling as she wraps you in her fuzzy body for a hug. The stirring of your heart when you think of just the right words to describe a character is her happy whisperings in your ear. She is joy, creativity, and beauty personified in your mind when she is being a muse. When her thoughts drift to her past and memories of those she loved, her heart becomes dark and somber. Her being itself is shrouded in her dark mane, she hides away and if she were to touch you during this time you would feel depression in its fullest. The depths of darkness envelope her. Even though some of those memories are joyous and she would not be who she is without them, her whole demeanor is changed and she is quiet, still and sad.
~*~
Likes: The spill of ink on lightly wet paper, the smell of freshly sharpened pencil shavings, wet paint to walk through. The smell of fresh paper. When the cherry blossoms float through the breeze or the sweet puffs of dandelion dance. The world is her playground and her joy is in bringing those small wonders to our attention.
~*~
Dislikes: Cold concrete darkness. Life must have change and flow. The depth of darkness that clings to a mind when everything is wrong. She only wishes to brighten a day and bring creativity to light in all.
~*~
History/Background: Once a prominent emperors wife, she was drawn to the art of calligraphy. Her looks and calligraphy were regarded with acclaim. She was loved by just about everyone and loved them in return. Prior to her marriage she had been a rice farmers daughter with many sisters and friends. She had been chosen by the emperor as he rode past one warm day while they worked out in the fields. Several felt that she did not deserve such praise and soon a jealous rival snuck a special scroll into her stock of work scrolls. This scroll had been cursed to make the writer disappear. The rival had no idea where the person would go to, and did not care, she only wished Ora gone. Ora only wanted to practice letters and words as their flow was enticing to her. Once the ink was on the page, she was forever changed. Her body shifted into an androgynous form and her mind began to see things she’d only imagined. She found she could imagine the letters and words she loved and see them as the actual creatures or items they represented. Her mind was a whirl and she nearly lost herself in the chaos. A light in the distance drew her attention shortly after and she found a glowing globe at the end of a long hallway. Inside she could see her husband. He wept as they searched for her. Her heart breaking she began to weep as well. She noticed that her tears made charcoal colored blots like ink on the floor and was astonished. Her mind wandered as her eyes explored her new form and when she looked at the sphere again her husband seemed years older. She focused on him intently and in her resolve created totems of her life to carry with her. The orb lets her view the present, and her earrings to keep her tied to her soul.
~*~
Immortal now, her husband had long ago passed away. She never left his side while he was alive. She stayed near and sometimes she thought he could spy her. After his passing she ventured out into the world and soon found that she could influence those with a creative mind. If she happened upon a poet musing over where to start, she could alight on his shoulder and whisper things to spur him on. She found this ability gave her a high and enjoyed it thoroughly, but every once in a while, her mood would darken and she would revisit memories of her previous life. In her dark times she was no one’s muse. A daybreak could sometimes break the spell the memories held over her, but often it was months lost in the vivid pastimes her soul still contained that kept her from the light.
~*~
Her form is able to shift, though her earrings are not. When she wants to be, she can be male or female, a full size Digger or as shown above, tiny enough to sit on her current subjects shoulder weightless as a fly. She is able to write with her tail and does so as often as she can. Her writings are usually in the dust or smoke and whisked away swiftly, but sometimes she gets the chance to dip her tail in ink and write small anonymous poems or love notes.

Daybreak and I'm pushing myself to make it to the overlook with my canvas and bucket of supplies. "Uff, why am I doing this again?!" I ask aloud, though there's no one but me up this morning. Everyone else is cozy in bed. Knocking myself in the knees with the bucket and easel as I stumble over rocks I can see the small hues of crimson breaking the darkness and I'm renewed. I should be cold as it's December and the snow is coating everything I can see. The shapes are so much bulkier under the snowfall. I haven't been able to get the idea of painting the sunrise over the snowy riverbank out of my head all night long. The thought struck me warm and cozy by the fire late in the evening. Usually these funny little artistic musings pass when my head hits the pillow, that or I'll try to sketch it out a bit and the idea will float away. Not this one though.
Staking my easel into the ground - or what I hope is ground with this blanket of white underneath me- I smile, "this is going to be so much fun"
Ora laughs on my shoulder, though I have no idea she's there nor can I hear her. She's been waiting all night long for this. "Those sunrise tones are going to be so beautiful" she thinks with a grin. "This girl's fun, I may have to stick around a while and see what else we can play with, that office of hers looked like a craft store." As I start to lay in the background of our farms tree line Ora wraps her long body around my shoulders and relaxes.

Art: omg, so much art to come from these hands, just have to have time!
~*~
Other: Amazing, I was scrolling aimlessly seeing if anyone would possibly fit in my group as I have not adopted in a loooong time, when those eyes, that look, I could not scroll any further. I was captivated.

WIP- unless I just flat out run out of time, then it's done I suppose
